- Flip help

❯ camera -f help

Usage: ipcam --filp [flip method]

[flip method] is none by default. Here are some values you can try out (from gst/videofilter/gstvideoflip.c):

• clockwise: clockwise 90 degrees
• rotate-180: 180 degrees
• counterclockwise: counter-clockwise 90 degrees
• horizontal-flip: flip horizontally
• vertical-flip: flip vertically
• upper-left-diagonal: flip across upper-left/lower-right diagonal
• upper-right-diagonal: flip across upper-right/lower-left diagonal

However, some of these flip methods do not seem to work. In particular, those which change the picture size, such as clockwise or counterclockwise. *-flip and rotate-180 do work, though.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I think it'd be best to keep this repository to a single script, as having two very similar copies of the same script would complicate maintenance quite a bit.

Would it make sense to try and add a --fork option paired with a --kill option to the main script?

I really want to help, but something went wrong with my setup. https://github.com/agarciadom/ipwebcam-gst/issues/124#issue-1601359500
